About Shelter
What we like about Shelter is how little it tries to be everything — it does alphabet, and that is the job we wanted filled on the Display and Poster Fonts shelf. It comes from TypeIQ. No reviews either way, so the preview is doing all the work on this one. Nobody has piled onto it yet, which means the only recommendation here is ours.
A display font only has to work big, so we judge it at poster size and ignore how it looks in a paragraph — that is not its job. We keep it filed mentally under bold, which is the use that needs the least adjusting afterwards. The licence tab and the full-size preview are the whole of our due diligence here, and they take about a minute between them.

How to use this font
- Download the font from Creative Fabrica and unzip it — you normally get OTF and TTF of the same face, plus a licence file.
- Install the OTF if your software gives you the choice: it carries the alternates and ligatures that make a script face look handwritten.
- Restart the app you design in — Canva, Photoshop, Cricut Design Space and Word all read the font list once, at launch.
- Read the licence before a paid job: personal and commercial use are priced apart, and a logo often needs the extended one.
